This artwork by Emperor Xuantong achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2016. In the Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy auction, the work Correspondence sold for HKD 200,000.00 (€ 24,371.34) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 100,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Emperor Xuantong; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Five-Character Poem in Running Script sold at auction in November 2019 with the realized price of HKD 250,000.00 (€ 28,995.37).
